Sweat Shop Live

We are disappointed to inform you our live music events are currently on hold until further notice.

As per advice from the NZ Ministry of Health, we are confident we are currently continuing to operate a safe environment for the health of our customers, however in order to ensure we follow the suggested social-distancing recommendations we believe putting all large group gatherings on hold is the right decision for all.

Please continue to check this page for further updates over the coming weeks.

Back Your Bar

/ Multiple Establishments

Our bars have served us well over the years. Now it’s time for us to serve them.

15 of your favourite Joylab drinkeries, meeteries and eateries are now open across Auckland, and ready for you to head down with your mates for a bite or a brew.

We're so grateful for the support which has been shown to us over recent weeks. Whilst this marathon is far from over, we cannot thank you – our loyal customers – enough for your past, present and future support and for choosing us as your first choice local.

Now you can join us for a drink whether you’re dining or not, and we've got some bloody good reasons to #backyourbar and join us for a cold one. Check them out below.

It’s time to dig under your car seat, dive into the depths of your couch and find that precious little gold coin for Sweat Shop's Dollar Dog Wednesdays!

Every Wednesday from 5pm we'll be serving up classic American style hot dogs for only $1. There's a limit to five hot dogs per drink, but by then you’ll probably need another beverage to wash down all the deliciousness.

Max 5 hotdogs available for any one drink purchased
Not available for pre-booked events or with First Table bookings.
Offer only available while stocks last.

The Giggle Gig

Saturday 13 June, 8.30pm / Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen

Get ready to sit down for some stand up at The Giggle Gig, live at Sweat Shop on Saturday 13 June

Catch Guy Williams and Paul Douglas along with MC Justine Smith for a night of classic kiwi stand up comedy, served up with shared dining platters for your group as you sip on bottomless beer, bubbles and a whole lot of laughs.

Bottomless bubbles & beer is R18 only and is a 2-hour package.
Maximum group size of 10 people. Choice must be made between bottomless beer OR prosecco per person, not both.
The package includes Da Luca Prosecco or Export Gold Beer served alongside a range of non-alcoholic beverages, and guests will not be served more than one beverage at a time. Sweat Shop complies with the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and therefore enforce the responsible consumption of alcohol by all our guests. We offer non-alcoholic beverages and food at all times and will stop service immediately to any intoxicated persons.

The Beat Council

/ Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen

We are disappointed to inform you our live music events are currently on hold until further notice.

Please continue to check this page for further updates over the coming weeks.

Begin your farewell to the man he once was with a crafternoon like no other.

Let our Brew Wizard show you the ropes in our Brewery Experience including beer tasters and a pint of your favourite, followed by exclusive access to our Man Cave from 4.30 - 6.30pm complete with pool tables, table tennis, an arcade game and two massive screens with access to sporting channels, pizzas and platters to share.

Want to celebrate for another reason? Our Lads Crafternoon is available for all group bookings no matter the occasion. Ladies, unlike most, this man cave is even flexible on its rules of entry.

Keep the whole group entertained with a one-hour burlesque class including flower back drop and props, exclusive access to Sweat Shops Velvet Room with personal bartender, a glass of bubbles and cocktail per person and gourmet share platters.

While the way we connect with others may have been mixed, shaken and stirred for now, we wanted to keep the simplest of joys alive from home. We've figured out a way to get many of your favourite beverages delivered to your door all from one place, with contactless delivery to keep you safe.

We'll make sure we only send you useful info for the things you care about.
